And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. |
And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved. |
And I will most gladly spend and be expended for your souls. If I love you the more, am I to be loved the less? |
So I will very gladly spend for you everything I have and expend myself as well. If I love you more, will you love me less? |
But I will most gladly spend [myself] and be utterly spent for your souls. If I love you exceedingly, am I to be loved [by you] the less? |
But as for myself, I will most gladly spend and be wholly spent for the sake of your souls. Assuming for the moment that I love you more abundantly [than I love other assemblies I have founded], am I being loved less [that I am being loved by other assemblies]? [Is that the way you are requiting my love?] |
Consequently I will most gladly spend and be spent for your good utterly. Does that mean that the more I love you the less you love me? |
So in my own case, I will most happily spend my money and myself for your sakes. If I love you much more than I love others, am I to be loved less by you? |
